I need to hand paint the emblems and get them on but I've done a few other things this past week. The dash is on, the mud flap I had made locally is on, all electrical works and I went over the hardware tightening and checking everything. The oil feed line from the tank leaks at the tank, minor but annoying. The fuel shutoff doesn't completely seal so I need to replace that but I would like to avoid the viton tipped rod, I had the end come off my 62 so I swore I would never use one of them again. I took the rosettes off the seat and swapped the orange ones for red ones, the orange and yellow clashed with the blue bike. (ignore the fender on the chopper its just spending some time sitting there).

Did you try the shut off valve from Carl Olsen? I have one on my Flathead for about 5 years, does NOT leak, ever. I had the fuel line disconnected since September with at one gallon of gas in the tank, stayed there leak free until installation last month. His stuff works.
